Ivan Torralba

Fort Morgan Police Department officials reported the boyfriend of missing teenager Kayla Chadwick of Fort Morgan has been arrested on four counts of perjury, one count of tampering with physical evidence and trying to influence a public servant.

The arrest of Ivan Torralba,19, of Fort Morgan actually happened on Nov. 8 about 1:22 p.m.

He is being held in the Logan County Jail on $250,000 bond.

Kayla Chadwick was reported missing in March.

It was reported that Chadwick was last seen after an argument with her boyfriend.

A grand jury was convened to investigate her disappearance.

As a result, Torralba was arrested as a result of the "investigation" part of the disappearance, but not necessarily connected with the disappearance itself.

Fort Morgan police are still pursuing the investigation. Those who may be able to help on her case are asked to call 970-867-5678.
